Casino Royale I am on board with. Syriana…. I started watching it, thinking it was one of those insanely confusing films that would all fall into place eventually.
Not so much.
Never before have the end credits of a film rolled with me having no more knowledge of what the story was, or in fact who any of the characters were, than I did when the film started. I appreciate this is totally down to me and my brain. But I was just so confused by this film!

The characters are less important. More important is the story of how oil and the oil industry corrupted government policy at the highest level. Each strand of the story shows the different facets of the corruptions, ranging from personal (Matt Damon), to big corporate (Jeffrey Wright/Chris Copper/Christopher Plummer), and finally intelligence/military (George Clooney).And you are not the only one. Reading some of the comments on IMDb it seems a fair number of people are confused too.
